preface* 

The publisher thinks it necessary to prefix a few words of 
apology and explanation. He has not attempted to give in 
this short guide book an exhaustive desciiption of everything 
to be seen ; for this would neither be possible (outside of a 
large volume) nor practical. But he has attempted to point 
out the things which he thinks the most interesting to the 
ordinary visitor, whose time is generally limited, and he has 
for this reason avoided taking the visitor to such places as the 
Observatory and Botanic Gardens (See Appendix) which 
present nothing different from what may be seen in any first 
class observatory or botanical gardens. 

He does not consider the book perfect, by any means ; but 
hopes in future editions to make such changes and additions 
that he may finally achieve a comprehensive, yet practical 
guide book of Harvard, which will not only help the tourist 
while there, but be of sufficient merit to be preserved as a 
souvenir.

Cambridge or New Tovvne as it was first called, was settled 
in 1 63 1. Its history is chiefly interesting in connection with 
Harvard, which was founded in 1636, when the state legisla- 
ture granted the then large sum of ^^400 to found a school. 
The location of this school was not settled however, until 1637 
when New Towne was taken as its site and the name New 
Towne soon after changed to Cambridge in recognition of the 
English University where many of the colonists had graduated. 

In 1638, John Harvard, a young minister, died at Charles- 
town, and left to the college his entire library of about 300 
volumes and about $4000. In his honor the college was 
named Harvard. 

The first master of the school was one Nathaniel Eaton, who 
soon showed himself so unfitted for the charge that he was re- 
moved and charge given, in 1640, to the Rev. Henry Dunster 
who was Harvard's first President. 

In 1642, the general management of the college was put in 
the hands of a Board of Overseers and in 1650, the Legisla- 
ture granted the college a charter, creating a corporate body, 
who had direct supervision of the college affairs. They were 
known as the President and Fellows of Harvard College, and 



4 SOUVENIR GUIDE BOOK, 

consisted of a President, five Fellows, and a Treasurer. Since 
then the Legislature has passed many acts concerning the 
government of the college ; but to-day its government is prac- 
tically the same as in 1650, and consists of the Corporation 
called " The President and Fellows of Harvard College " and 
the Board of 32 Overseers. The President and Fellows fill 
the vacancies in the corporation ; but the Overseers are elected 
by the Alumni of the University. The University has shown a 
steady growth since its foundation, and at present (1895) 
there are 337 officers of instruction and 3290 students in all' 
departments of the University. 

How to Reach Harvard. 

Take any Cambridge car marked Harvard Square. Such 
cars may be taken from Park, Bowdoin and Scollay Squares, or 
from the Union Station and on Tremont and Boylston Sts. 
Arrived at the Square we leave the car and walking back to- 
wards Boston about a hundred feet, we come to an old wooden 
house on the edge of the college grounds. This is the 

Wadsworth House, 

built in 1726 with money furnished by the state. (See 
picture.) It was built for " the Reverend the President of 
Harvard College," and was named after President Wadsworth^ 
its first occupant. Here the college presidents lived until 
1849, ^nd here too Washington stopped for a few days before 
he made his headquarters at the Craigie House, better known 
as Longfellow's house. 

Returning towards the Square, and keeping on the college- 
side we come to

HARVARD COLLEGE AND VICINITY. 5 

Dane Hall, 

a plain brick building erected in 1832 for a Law School, the 
gift of Hon. Nathan Dane and used for such until 1883. 
At present it is used as a recitation hall and for the store of 
the Harvard Co-operative Society. 

Continuing in the same direction we pass next, 

Matthews Hall, 

a large brick dormitory somewhat in from the street, and of 
which we get a rear view. It was built in 1872 at a cost of 
about $120,000, the gift of Nathan Matthews of Boston. 
Crossing the street diagonally, we come to the 

First Parish Church, 

a wooden church almost in the Square. This church was 
built about 1833 by the College in exchange for its old site 
and adjoining land, which is now a part of the college yard. 
The former site of th-e church was about where Dane Hall now 
is. From 1834 to 1872 the College held its commencement 
exercises in this church, and it is said that Ralph Waldo Emer- 
son delivered his first poem within its walls. 
Beside the church is 

The " Old Towne Burying Ground" 

in which are buried seven of Harvard's Presidents, Dunster, 
Chauncey, Leverett, Wadsworth, Holyoke, Willard and Web- 
ber ; Thomas Shepard, the first minister, Stephen Day and 
Simuel Green, the first printers, and Andrew Belcher, who first 
had the right to keep an inn in Cambridge. 
West of the burying ground is 



6 SOUVENIR GUIDE BOOK, 

Christ Church, 

built about 1760. In 1775 the Connecticut troops were 
quartered here, and made buUets for themselves by melting the 
organ pipes. Washington is said to have attended service here 
while at Cambridge. Its chime of bells was the gift of 
Harvard graduates in i860, when the church was 100 years 
old. 

Returning to the front of the First Church, we see directly 
opposite across the street 

The Harvard Gate. 

Although there are now two gates, this is still referred to as 
The Gate. (See fronticepiece.) And well it may be con- 
sidered as the principal one for it stands between the two 
oldest of Harvard buildings : Massachusetts Hall on the right 
(as we enter) and Harvard Hall on the left. The gate was 
built in 1890, the gift of Samuel Johnston of Chicago, and 
although it has had quite a little adverse criticism, it is in 
thorough harmony with its surroundings, the first, or w^hich 
should be the first principle of architecture. Two very fine 
pictures of this gate have been published; one an etching, the 
other a large photogravure. Both may be seen at the Art 
Store of J. F. Olsson & Co., Harvard Square. 

As we enter the College Yard we pass on our right 

Massachusetts Hall, 

the oldest of Harvard's buildings. Built in 1720, it was used 
as a dormitory until 1870, when it was altered for use as a 
recitation hall, and its three stories and a half became two. 



HARVARD COLLEGE AND VICINITY. 7 

On the west end of this building (that toward the street) was 
formerly the College clock, whose location is now shown by a 
round wooden piece on the wall. 

Opposite Massachusetts Hall and on the north side, or left 
hand as we enter, is 

Harvard Hall. 

The present building was built in 1765 and replaced the old 
hall which was destroyed by fire in 1764. An immense 
amount of lead was used on its roof, and this was turned to 
very good account shortly after when it was converted into 
bullets which helped gain the independence of the United 
States. 

In Harvard Hall was located in early days, the " buttery," 
the library and lecture rooms, and Commencement dinner was 
held here. The bell on the roof still tolls the rising hour, 
time of chapel service, and the end and beginning of recita- 
tions. Time and time again have mischievous students 
attempted to silence it by padding or even stealing its tongue, 
but the ringer whose wits were kept keen by anticipation of 
such tricks, has generally been up to the emergency, and the 
bell rung as usual. 

Passing on into the yard or quadrangle and turning to our 
left, we pass (going north) a plain brick structure back of and 
adjoining Harvard Hall. This is 

Hollis Hall, 

a dormitory built in 1763 with money supplied by the state, 
and named for Thomas Hollis of London, one of Harvard's 
early benefactors. Here has roomed Charles Sumner, Wen- 



8 SOUVENIR GUIDE BOOK, 

dell Phillips, Ralph Waldo Emerson, W. H. Prescott, and 
Edward Everett. 

Passing Hollis and turning to the left brings us to a little 
one story brick building, 

Holden Chapel, 

the first chapel of Harvard. It was built in 1744, the gift of 
Mrs. Samuel Holden, who gave in 1741, $2000 for this pur- 
pose. Holden's family gave in all over ^40,000 to Harvard. 
At the left of the chapel is the 

Class Day Tree, 

easily distinguished by the odds and ends of strings which 
mark where the flowers and wreaths have been fastened for 
which the Seniors struggle ou Class Day. 

Retracing our steps to the Yard, and turning to the left, we 
pass 

Stoughton Hall, 

a dormitory similar to Hollis. It was built in 1805, mostly 
with money raised in a lottery. It was named after the old 
Stoughton Hall which was built in 1700 by Lieutenant Gover- 
nor Stoughton and afterwards removed. Here has roomed 
Charles Sumner, Edward Everett, Edward Everett Hale, Oliver 
Wendell Holmes, and Caleb Cushing. 

Proceeding on our way around the yard we pass next 
another plain brick buiLling, 

Holworthy Hall, 
built in 181 2, and named after Sir Matthew Holworthy of Eng- 



HARVARD COLLEGE AND VICINITY. 9 

land, who had left the College about ^5000, in 1678. The 

Hall was built with the proceeds of a lottery sanctioned by 

act of legislature. 

As we come to the end of Holworthy, looking to the left 

we see 

The New Gate, 

built in 1 89 1, the gift of G. von L. Meyer of Boston, a Har- 
vard graduate. 

The next building in the quadrangle at right angles to Hol- 
worthy is 

Thayer Hall, 

a dormitory built in 1870, the gift of Nathaniel Thayer of 
Boston in memory of his father. Rev. Nathaniel Thayer, and 
his brother, John Eliot Thayer. This is an exceptionally un- 
pretentious building, but is roomy and convenient. 
The white stone building adjoining is 

University Hall, 

built in 1 815, at a cost of $65,000. In this building were 
formerly the chapel and common dining room, which were 
given up in 1867 and 1842 respectively. Commencement 
exercises were also at one time held here. At present the 
building is used for recitation rooms and the offices of the 
President and Secretary. 
South of University Hall is 

Weld Hall, 

one of the finest of the dormitories belonging to the College. 



10 SOUVENIR GUIDE BOOK, 

It was built in 1872, the gift of William F. Weld of Boston, in 
memory of his brother, Stephen Minot Weld. 

Next to Weld Hall at the south end of the Yard is 

Gray's Hall, 

built by the corporation in 1863 as an investment. It was 
named after the Gray family, three benefactors of the College. 
Passing between Gray's and Weld we come to 

Boylston Hall, 

a granite building erected in 1857, with money left by Ward 
Nicholas Boylston. It is used for chemical laboratories and 
lecture rooms. As tablets on its rear wall state, Thomas 
Hooker, Thomas Shepard and the Wiggles worths, formerly 
lived on the site which the hall occupies. 
A few steps east and facing it is 

Gore Hall, 

the College Hbrary, built in 1840 with money given by Hon. 
Christopher Gore. (See picture.) It is built of Quincy 
granite, fire-proof, of Gothic architecture, and patterned after 
King's College Chapel, Cambridge, England. Over the 
entrance is a gilt cross brought from Louisburg in 1 745 by 
Massachusetts soldiers. The library is open from 9 until 5, 
and its immense collection of books may be consulted by all 
persons, whether connected with the University or not. There 
are minor or departmental libraries, and altogether the Uni- 
versity has about 450,000 bound volumes and almost as many 
pamphlets and maps. These as distributed are

In the art room (reached by a flight of iron stairs from the 
delivery room) there is quite a little of interest to the visitor, 
such as original manuscripts, old autographs, a collection of 
coins, a death mask of Oliver Cromwell, and many other anti- 
quities. 

Back of Gore Hall, and northeast of it is 

Sever Hall. 

a brick building erected in 1880, a gift of Mrs. A. E. P. Sever, 
for whom it is named. It contains recitation and lecture 
rooms, and is by far the finest building the college has for 
this purpose. 

To the west and in front of Sever is 

Appleton Chapel, 

a sandstone building built in 1858. Its total cost has been 
about ^68,000, $50,000 of which was given by the executors 



12 SOUVENIR GUIDE BOOK, 

of Samuel Appleton, who left $200,000 for charitable, scientific 
and literary purposes, and for whom it was named. 
On the north side of Appleton is the 

William Hayes Fogg Art Museum, 

but just completed (1895). It is the gift of Mrs. Elizabeth 
Fogg, who gave ^220,000 for this purpose. It has been 
harshly criticized from an architectural standpoint, and indeed 
is not in very good harmony with its surroundings. 
Leaving the Yard and crossing the street brings us to 

Memorial Hall, 

erected in 1874-76, by the graduates of the University. (See 
picture.) It is by far Harvard's most beautiful building, and 
contains the memorial transept, the dining hall, and Sanders 
Theatre, named in honor of Charles Sanders who gave over 
$60,000 towards the building. The total length is about 300 
feet and the tower is about 200 feet high. 
At its west end is the 

Statue of John Harvard, 

given by Samuel J. Bridge, and erected in 1884. (See pic- 
ture.) It was designed by D. C. French, and is purely an 
ideal statue as there is no known likeness of John Haivard in 
existence. It has on its sides the Harvard seal, and that of 
Emanuel College, Cambridge, England, John Harvard's alma 
mater. 

Entering Memorial Hall by the southern entrance (that 
facing the Art Museum) we are imm-ediately in the transept. 



HARVARD COLLEGE AND VICINITY. I3 

in which are the marble tablets bearhig the names of students 
and graduates who died in their country's service. On one 
large tablet is inscribed : 

THIS HALL 

Commemorates the Patriotism 

OF THE Graduates and Students of this University 

Who Served in the Army and Navy of the 

United States 

During the War for the Preservation of the Union, 

and Upon These Tablets 

ARE Inscribed the Names of Those Among Them 

Who Died in that Service. 

On the left of the transept as we enter is the dining hall, 
capable of seating over 700. During term time visitors may 
see the hall during meal time from the balcony. In the hall 
are many old portraits, a list of which is given in the Appen- 
dix. The entrance to Sanders Theatre is on the right. This 
seats 1300 people, and is vised for the University exercises on 
Class Day and Commencement, and also for public lectures 
and concerts. Over the stage in latin is the following trans- 
lated inscription: — " Here in the wilderness did English 
exiles in the year after the birth of Christ, the sixteen hundred 
and thirty-sixth, and the sixth after the foundation of their 
Colony, believing that wisdom should first of all things be 
cuhivated, by public enactment found a school, and dedicated 
it to Christ and the Church. Increased by the munificence 
of John Harvard, again and again assisted by the friends of 
good learning not only here but abroad, and finally entrusttd

to the care of its own children, brought safely through from 
small beginnings to larger estate by the care and judgment 
and foresight of Presidents, Fellows, Overseers and Faculty, 
all liberal arts and public and private virtues it has cultivated, 
it cultivates still. 

" But they that be wise shall shine as the brightness of the 
firmament ; and they that turn many to righteousness, as the 
stars forever and ever." 

On the right facing the stage is a statue of President Quincy 
by Story. 

Leaving the hall by the north entrance (we entered at the 
south) and turning to the right we pass up Kirkland street to 
Divinity Avenue. Going along Divinity Ave. we pass first on 
the left 

The Peabody Museum of Archaeology and 
Ethnology, 

which was built in 1877, the gift of George Peabody of Lon- 
don. The purpose of the Museum is the collection of relics of 
American archaeology and ethnology, although there are in 
the Museum some collections from China, Japan and the Pa- 
cific Islands. The American collections are of course the 
most complete and interesting, and contain specimens from 
North and South America. The Museum is open from 9 to 
5, week days. 

Directly opposite Peabody on the other side of the avenue 
is 

Divinity Hall, 

a plain brick building, built in 1826 by the Society for the 



I 



HARVARD COLLEGE AND VICINITY. 15 

Promotion of Theological Education. It contains the chapel 
and lecture rooms of the Theological department and 37 stu- 
dent rooms. 

Beside the hall is the 

Divinity School Library, 

a small and rather pretty building which contains book stacks 
and reading room. 

Across the street on the same side as Peabody is the 

Museum of Comparative Zoology, 

built in i860, and enlarged in 187 1 and 1880 with money 
famished by the state and by private subscription. It owes its 
being chiefly to the untiring efforts of Prof. Louis Agassiz, the 
great naturalist, who interested legislation in its behalf. It 
contains one of the most valuable and complete zoological col- 
lections in existence. The building also contains a great num- 
ber of lecture rooms, laboratories, and a fire-proof room 
containing the library. 

There is little to interest the visitor in the immense collec- 
tion of animal life which is simihr to that in any Natural 
History rooms, but one collection in the west end of the 
building should be missed under no consideration, if one 
admires the beautiful at all. It is the collection of glass 
flowers, made by Leopold and Rudolph Blaschka, of Germany, 
who alone have the secret of doing this beautiful work. They 
are the gift of Mrs. E. C. Ware and Miss L. M. Ware as a 
memorial of the late Dr. C. E. Ware of the Class of 1834. 
The Museum is open week diys from 9 until 5 ; and from May 
to November, Sundays i to 5. 



Jr6 SOUVENIR GUIDE BOOK, 

Leaving the Museum by the western entrance we come out 
on to Oxford St. North of the Museum on this street are two 
new dormitories : 

Conant Hall 

on the right, the gift of Edwin Conant, Class of 1829, who 
left about $100,000, to Harvard in 1891 ; and 

Perkins Hall 

on the left, the gift of Mrs. Catherine Page Perkins, who gave 
$150,000 to build a dormitory in memory of her husband's 
great-grandfather. Rev. Daniel Perkins, his grandfather. Rev. 
Richard Perkins, and his brother William Foster Perkins, who 
were graduates of Haivard. Both were finished in 1894. 

Going down Jarvis St. (the street running into Oxford in 
front of the Museum) we pass between Jarvis Field on the 
right, which was formerly the only athletic field of Harvard, 
but is now used for tennis only, and Holmes Field on our left, 
used for base ball and track athletics. 

Half way down the street w^ come to a prison-like brick 
building named 

The Carey Building, 

built for winter practice of the crew, who row in a large tank, 
the boat being stationary wliile the water moves. The building 
was erected in 1890, the gift of H. A. Carey. 

Crossing Holmes Field we come first to a large brick build- 
ing on our left, 




statue of John Harvard. 



HARVARD COLLEGE AND VICINITY. ij 

Jefferson Physical Laboratory, 

built in 1884, chiefly the gift of Thomas Jefferson Coolidge. 
It contains recitation and lecture rooms, several laboratories, 
and several smaller rooms for special research. The building 
has arrangements by apartments on separate foundations, to 
carry on experiments requiring extremely sensitive instru- 
ments. 

In front of the Jefferson Laboratory is the 

Lawrence Scientific School, 

built in 1848, the gift of Abbot Lawrence of Boston. The 
building contains drafting and lecture rooms and the electri- 
cal work-shop. 

Beside the Scientific School building (to the west) is the 

Hemenway Gymnasium, 

built in 1879, the gift of Augustus Hemenway of Boston, who 
has lately given money for Its enlargement (1895). When 
finished it will probably be the finest gymnasium in America. 
It contains the main hall, fitted up with every modern and 
conceivable gymnastic apparatus, a running track, bowling 
alleys, baths of every description, and several thousand lockers. 
Leaving the gymnasium and going west a few steps brings 
us in sight of 

Austin Hall, 



a building of sandstone almost facing the rear of the Gymna- 
sium. (See picture.) This is the Law School building, built 



iS SOUVENIR GUIDE BOOK, 

in 1883, and given by Edwin Austin of Boston in memory of 
his brother Samuel Austin. It contains the large library, 
three large lecture rooms, a large comfortable reading room, 
and the Faculty offices. Between it and the Gymnasium once 
stood the birthplace of Oliver Wendell Holmes (see picture), 
which was removed because it obscured the view of a portion 
of Austin Hall. 

Going west to Massachusetts Avenue (the main street) and 
turning to the right, a few steps bring us to 

Walter Hastings Hall, 

a rather pretty dormitory, of fancy brick, built in 1890 at a 
cost of $243,000, the bequest of Walter Hastings. This is the 
finest dormitory belonging to the University. 

Going directly across the common (opposite Hastings 
Hall) to a large stone church with a steeple brings us to the 

Washington Elm, 

an old elm tree in the street, surrounded by an iron fence. 
(See picture.) Here a stone slab informs us that ''Under 
this Tree Washington First Took Command of the American 
Army, July 3rd, i775-" 

On the corner of Mason and Garden Sts., (the tree is at the 
junction of these two streets) near the tree is 

Radcliffe College, 

the successor of the Society for the Collegiate Instruction of 
Women, and perhaps even better known as the " Harvard 
Annex," as the name Radchffe was adopted but recently 
(1894).

HARVARD COLLEGE AND VICINITY. I9 

It was planned by Mr. Arthur Gihnan. It opened in 1879, 
with 27 students, who, for the most part, found homes in vari- 
ous private famiUes. 

The College occupies the old Fay House, which has been, 
however, greatly altered, improved and enlarged. (See 
picture.) It offers systematic collegiate instruction for women 
under the professors and instructors of Harvard University. 
More than 80 of Harvard's instructors are teachers in Radcliffe 

The courses are identical with those in the University, and 
the degrees are countersigned by the President of Harvard, as 
a guarantee that Radcliffe degrees are equivalent to the corres- 
ponding degrees <given by Harvard. 

The Fay House contains recitation rooms, offices, library, 
quite a large hall, and the various laboratories. The students 
of Radcliffe have access to the various museums of the Uni- 
versity and to its immense library. They are also privileged 
to take quite a number of the graduate courses of instruction. 

In short, a student of Radcliffe is practically a student of 
Harvard University, and enjoys advantages second to none in 
tliis country. 

Going west down Mason street to Brattle, and turning to 
our right we come first to a group of stone buildings, to which 
the stone church on the corner belongs. They are the build- 
iiiCTs of the 



'&' 



Episcopal Theological School, 

founded in 1867. The school is indirectly connected with 
Harvard; that is the students of the school have certain 
privileges in the University. There are two dormitories, 
dining room, library, and chapel. 



20 SOUVENIR GUIDE BOOK, 

Proceeding down Brattle street past the School, the second 
house we pass on our right is 

Longfellow's House. 

known also as the Craigie House. (See picture.) It is a 
colonial building, setting back about a hundred feet from the 
street. It was built in 1759 by one John Vassal, from whom 
it was taken by the colonial government, as he was a staunch 
Tory. 

Daring the winter of 1775-76, Washington made the house 
his headquarters. In 1791 the house was purchased by 
Andrew Craigie, who was connected with 'the Continental 
Army. Longfellow first lived here in 1837 when he rented a 
room of Mrs. Craigie. A few years afterwards he bought the 
house, and later the land between the house and the river, in 
order to have always an unobstructed view of the Charles 
River, which he loved. This land is now known as Long- 
fellow's Park. 

Crossing this park to Mt. Auburn St., we now take an elec- 
tric towards Mt. Auburn (going west), but leave the car at 
Elmwood Avenue. On the west side of this street very near 
Mt. Auburn St., is a colonial looking house setting back some- 
what from the road. This was the 

Home of James Russell Lowell. 

''Elmwood," (see picture) as it is called, was built in 176a 
by Lieutenant-Governor Thomas Oliver, and purchased in 
181 8 by Rev. Charles Lowell. Here in 18 19, James Russell 
Lowell was born, here he lived, except when abroad as minis- 
ter to Spain and England, and here he died in 1891. 



HARVARD COLLEGE AND VICINITY. 21 

Returning to Mt. Auburn street, and continuing our way 
westwards, a few minutes' walk brings us to the entrance of 

Mt. Auburn Cemetery, 

founded in 1831. It is truly a great city of the dead, a most 
beautiful cemetery, and contains the graves of many noted 
people. Here are buried James Russell Lowell, on 
Fountain Ave; Longfellow, on Catalpa path, just above 
Lowell's grave ; Rufus Choale, on Walnut Avenue ; Charles 
Sumner, on Arethusa Path; Margaret Fuller, on Pyrola 
path; Louis Agassiz near by, whose grave is maiked by 
a great rock which was brought from Switzerland ; Henry F. 
Durant, the benefactor of Wellesley, on Osier path; Rev. W. 
E. Channing, on Greenbrier path ; Edward Everett, on Mag- 
nolia Ave. ; President Joseph Quincy, on Sweetbrier path ; 
President Jared Sparks, Garden Ave. ; and a number of others. 

From the tower a very fine view of Cambridge and surround- 
ings may be obtained. 

We now return to the gate, and leave our visitor, who may 
take here an electric for Poston or Newton. 



HppcnMi^ 



We have omitted several departments of the University, two 
in Cambridge, and five elsewhere. 
In Cambridge, on Garden street, are 

The Observatory, 

a finely equipped instituiton for astronomical work of all kinds, 
which was first in the old wooden building on the corner of 
Quincy street and Massachusetts Ave. (college grounds), and 
the 

Botanic Gardens, 

founded in 1805, which contain a fine collection of plant, setc, 
especially native ones. 
In Boston there is

The Education of Girls. 



The editor of Harper'S Magazine wrote twice last year about 
schools for girls. In the Editor's Table for November, 1894, he 
mentions especially the " multiplication of private schools of a 
hio"h order," and says: "This movement is not accounted for 
by an undemocratic reluctance to submit well-bred children to 
the associations of the popular schools, but by the failure of 
those schools to give the sort of intellectual and moral training 
desired — that is, the sort of training that raises the ideal of life. 
"What is wanted," the editor continues, "is an institution 
under individual management" — " not for mere experiments, 
but for development founded upon experience and suited to the 
capacities and the positions of the great variety of scholars." 

This is a fair description of the organization and the aims of THE 
CAMBRIDGE SCHOOL, established at Cambridge, Mass., for 
the best cultivation of young ladies who wish to take advantage 
of those uncommon opportunities which can be found only in 
such a place as the intellectual capital of New England. It has 
been well said that "Eastern Massachusetts is probably the 
most highly organized community in the world," and that the 
same amount of intellectual and material energy of will and 
intelligence is nowhere else expended urjon the development of 
the human individual. 

Young ladies come to Cambridge from distant portions of 
the land to share these privileges ; and they get much more 
than they are promised, for the atmosphere of the place counts 
for more, even, than the curriculum of the School, Manuals 
are sent to any address, on application to Mr. Arthur Oilman, 
the Director of the Cambridge School, No. 79 Brattle St., 
Cambridge, Mass.
